HURRY! We Didn’t Come to Hell for the Croissants: Seven Deadly New Stories for Consenting Adults is now on at Alexanders Upstairs Theatre.
7 Deadly Sins. 7 writers. 7 new stories. Jemma Kahn and her irreverent side-kick return in the eagerly anticipated sequel to the international cult hit The Epicene Butcher with stories that seduce the sinless and astonish the immoral. It’s unmissable and definitely not for children. Unless you are an awful parent.
